QuoteReplyTopic: Can you classify this? Posted: January 11 2013 at 11:14

I was messing around with 7/8 and I came up with this conceptual mixolydian folkish thing. I'm not taking it very serious or anything, but I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of folk this would be, or what it resembles most. As in: Irish folk, Slavic folk or West-European folk.

by the way: What you're hearing is Guitar Pro 6, but it should be imagined as acoustic guitar, keys and percussion.

Sounds very Gentle-Gianty to me ... in a way. It appears that the keys, the percussion, and the use of the 7/8 meter give the bit a kind of a jazzy flavor. As for the acoustic guitar work, it sounds too archetypal to be classified. It could be a basis for a number of things, but especially for Western-European folk (reminds me a bit of Pentangle). It could be British (or, less likely, Spanish) folk. That's what I would say from my personal experience.

It's not that I want to classify it purely for the sake of classifying. I was just curious as to which kind of ethnic music this resembles the most, because in my mind it sounds like some kind of folk music. Thanks anyway!
